Story

Hi I’m Sam Lidington, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am currently in HND coaching and developing sport and as part of an event within Ayrshire college myself, Ashley, Lauren, Morgan and Dimos have taken it upon ourselves to complete 100k each from the 19th of April until the 14th of May which will total to 500k. We will all be doing a 5k every Monday to Friday. The chosen charity has a close working partnership within our college and with that there are many mental health workshops throughout the year. Mental health being a very touchy subject to talk about and with a huge stigma around it the Kris Boyd Charity is somewhere that helps and allows people to speak up and open up about mental health. The past few years alone have been tougher than most for a lot of people and with money raised they are able to have more Mental Health workshops around the country, giving advice and help.

We are hoping to raise as much money as we can to help The Kris Boyd Charity continue the good work and bring more workshops/school visits & everything else they support in the future and stop the stigma around mental health.

I have set up a Strava group with myself, Ashley, Lauren, Morgan & Dimos all posting our 5K everyday there. I will then post on my personal social media platforms so everyone can track our progress.

Again,
Thanks so much for taking the time to read our story and visiting our page.

Any donations made are greatly appreciated.
